captmaarek Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 I don't think they're the exclusives because the #ing scheme isn't right for that, of the exclusives I've gotten 3 total the numbers are going up in sequentially order, as stated before my post.
Darth_Legois Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 I really like these mini's! I hope they arnt a brickmaster exclusive Especially the V-19 Torrent If it is bm exclusive then its bricklink time for me and probable afew other people
Hewman Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) It's now about six weeks until the DS will be released. So why don't we get some pics - or at least one pic?! I like to think I keep a pretty good eye on the forums here and I don't recall anything about a known release date for the rumoured death star. Do you have any more info or have I just missed something? Cheers Matt Edited May 9, 2008 by hewman
Legoman Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 i dont know, if its old news, but 10188 should be avaible at 15.6.2008... i really cant wait to see pics of that beast.mmmm, death star...
Ras 74 Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 I was speaking to a man last weekend. He said that the DS will be showed in Chicago in June at Brickworld... fest... thing... So I said they managed to keep this set very secret. he grined to me, knowing where I come from and only said "Well..." Discussion was over. I tryed to squeese him as good as possible. Even our beloved Negotiater thought I was way to far But coming out in June sounds... like the most expensive summer ever in terms of SW LEGO. -Ras-
Plural Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Cheers for the info Ras, good to know when we'll be having a look at this bad boy.

metalandi Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 well, i think it's SO great that they did all possible to keep it secret, maybe produced in underground factory's that nobody knows about
Tarfful Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) I doubt it for the reasons *insert user name* stated, including that the set number is incorrect. The set with the fireman is 20002 or something. This one is 8004 or something. That would be me. On another note to all the people with thoughts that these new Mini's are the Star Wars BM exclusive sets let me set you straight. -First off the set numbers for the Nov.-Dec. BM exclusive set will be 20007 and the Jan.-Feb. one will be 20008. This information was derived from adding 2 and 3 respectively to the set number of the Sep.-Oct. BM exclusive set, which btw is 20005. -Second of all if the previously listed info isn't able to satisfy your qwest for knowledge the this , hopefully will. The set numbers for the mini's so far are 8028, 8029, and 8031, this means that there is no possible way for them to become the Star wars BM exclusive sets, unless TLG decides to give them complete box number changes of course. There I hope that's set you guys and gals straight that were alittle confused over this whole "Mini's=SW BM exclusive sets?" ordeal. Also you might or might not be wondering why I said "...for the mini's so far...", I said it because the Mini SW set numbers go from 8029 directly to 8031 leaving out 8030, this would lead one to believe that TLG has at least one more Mini instore for us this year. Intriguing no? Hmm, I was looking at the V-19 torrent, and I noticed something odd about the bow. V-19 Torrent There's one of those bley technic pins with a stop on the end that are used in the Bionicle leg pistons... I wonder what it does, or is it just a greeble? Pretty weird for a greeble. Hmmm... my thoughts on the unusal greeble: it doesn't look that noticeable because of the fact that you can hardly see it in all the other pics of the V19 so to me it's not that big of a deal. It actuall gives a little more detail to the bow of the ship, plus if you don't like it you can always just MOD it out. -Tarfful Edited May 9, 2008 by Tarfful

Intriguing no? Hm... has the Death Star set number been released?
Tarfful Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) Hm... has the Death Star set number been released? Actually it has, it's 10188. -Tarfful Edited May 9, 2008 by Tarfful

Intriguing no? #8030 was used early in 1984 as a Technic set, that's why LEGO skips that number.

I bet TLG feels pretty proud of themselves, they actually kept one secret for once. #8030 was used early in 1984 as a Technic set, that's why LEGO skips that number. Noooooooooo! You bursted my bubble! Seriously though thanks for setting me straight Whung. Hoping that TLG makes two 8030's ON! -Tarfful EDIT: 5 emoticons for 5 sentences, sheesh I think I have an emoticon addiction. Edited May 9, 2008 by Tarfful
Sir Dano Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) Actually it has, it's 10188. [joke]You have to admit, it would have been kind of funny if the DS turned out to be a mini.[/joke] Edited May 9, 2008 by sir dano
Plural Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 You have to admit, it would have been kind of funny if the DS turned out to be a mini. I certainly wouldn't be laughing. A mini Death Star would be pretty awful anyway. It would just be a ball.
Clonecommando007 Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 I certainly wouldn't be laughing. A mini Death Star would be pretty awful anyway. It would just be a ball. Now that was pretty dang funny!

Tarfful Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 [joke]You have to admit, it would have been kind of funny if the DS turned out to be a mini.[/joke] Yeah I knew it was a joke, but I thought you might like the info anyway. I certainly wouldn't be laughing. A mini Death Star would be pretty awful anyway. It would just be a ball. Yeah, but it would be a ball that could destroy (mini) planets, now that's my kind of ball. Silly-Off-Topic-Banter Over. -Tarfful

Navy Trooper Fenson Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Good news everyone! The german fansite The Brick Time sais that the Hoth Base is in stock again! http://brick.jamescook.nu/?p=160#comment-13917 The administrator bought two of the sets today.

The first time I clicked the provided link it sent a virus through my computer causing about 50 of the display windows for the website you provided to simultaneously pop-up! No worries though I know it's not your fault plus I finally clicked my way through all of them anyways. Aside from the afore mentioned tidbit I was very excited to hear the news, until I realised it isn't available in the US yet. -Tarfful Edited May 9, 2008 by Tarfful
commandosevy Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Well thats good it's in Germany-area! So well get it 15-25 probabley. Thats only considering some things.

I think it's pretty cool, actually, but it's just odd that such a long piece would be used. Not fun for a minifig to sit on!
trooperdavinfelth Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 You guys, Rotta is Jabba the Hutts son!! I can't beleive we get him. Mate, this is quite old news that Rotta would be a reliative of Jabba, much more his nephew or son.
